Laughing With You
Ah, sweet laughter. What would life be like without it? I’d further the idea of social bonding to claim that most social groups are loosely based around a certain style of humor. You know, that’s why the young republicans steer clear of hipster-dadaist scenes. I’d also venture to guess that funny people get laid more often. And those poor souls with the pathological fear that others are laughing at them…relax, we’re laughing with you.

Agree that laughter “rawks.” Also agree that many social groups share a similar, and sometimes downright peculiar, sense of humor. But I take issue with the “funny people get laid more often.” Ask Chris Farley. Don’t you think that some of the funniest people are clowns to hide some deep insecurity (Dave Chappelle)? Often one that prevents them from taking the social risks necessary to get laid frequently? If someone thinks they are fat, awkward, acne-ridden, they just might be. That person might be the funniest person in the world, but his ability to get laid is still inhibited. However, if you have two fat, awkward, acne-ridden identical twins and one is funny, he will get laid more often (just not a lot).
Finally, admit it…sometimes you are laughing at me not with me.

I still think that Farley got much more action than he would have if he wasn’t funny. In fact, I seem to remember him with several hotties living a very decadent Belushi-esqe lifestyle in the final days.

You know what’s funny? Drummer Jokes.
Oh, wait. No they aren’t.

I actually just heard one yesterday:
‘What do you call a drummer without a girlfriend?’
‘Homeless’

Of course drummer jokes are funny. And yeah, if you’re fat, be funny for sure and try to be famous too, as that will help your sex/pounds ratio.
